in this place

Lyrics

all the years i worked in this place, the friends that i knew here, i loved every face, i loved the smoke the heat and the noise, but the profits too small for the black suited boys, oh angel, it's coming down stone by stone, it's breaking up home by home, take it away, take it away, take it, in this place i will lay my life down, in this place i will let you carry me, as i age so my learning grows, i still touch the vision, i still smell the rose in this place, all the years i lived in this place, the people we knew here, i loved every face, i love the parties, the funerals and fights, but a supermarket needs the land, and i have no rights, oh angel, it's coming down stone by stone, it's breaking up home by home, take it away, take it away, take it, in this place i will lay my life down, in this place i will let you carry me, as i age so my learning grows, i still touch the vision, i still smell the rose in this place, all the years i spent in this place, the children i raised here, i love every face, i love this country, the land of my birth, how much am i wanted, how much am i worth, oh angel, it's coming down stone by stone, it's breaking up home by home, take it away, take it away, take it, in this place i will lay my life down, in this place i will let you carry me, as i age so my learning grows, i still touch the vision, i still smell the rose, in this place i will lay my life down, in this place i will let you carry me, as i age so my learning grows, i still touch the vision, i still smell the rose in this place
